Belief – Written June 2004 (Aged 29)

Belief

i have done nothing wrong
but i am always here
propping up the worst case scenario
you believe in god
who you have never seen
who has never held you
of given you their worldly goods
who has never actually –
turned up and spoke
yet, you do not seem to believe in me
me, who gives you everything
who holds you –
and is real as the sun
that burns in a summer sky
who is flesh and blood
who will live and cry
i am here, as real as life itself
but you struggle –
to put your faith in me
i give you everything –
of who i am
but you seem so cynical
when i offer you my hands
